I just grabbed a boot floppy, installed the bin distrib over and was able to reboot. I'm running on a p166, SB32 PnP, Mystique 4mb, aic-7880, Quantum Lightning and Fireball, Matshita 8x cdrom (all scsi). I dread having to reboot. Oddly enough it seemed to do this quite spontaniously, without warning. - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
